Civic has highly competitive programs in regards to leverage, rates, fees, etc. COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE Every lender can speak on their service level and quick turn times, but one of the most important fea- tures of running a successful private money lender is access to capital. Civic has been fortunate to be affiliated with some of the largest investment groups within the real estate industry such as HMC Assets and Wedgewood, Inc. It is through these relation - ships that we have access to institutional capital which results in competitive rates and fees for the company's borrowers. ADDED VALUE TO CLIENTS Civic's customer service and attention to the needs of its clients. These unique relationships with Wedgewood and HMC Assets in particular allow Civic to be well informed in the real estate markets in which it lends. In turn, this promotes exceptional service to its clients in the form of better valuations, quicker turnaround times, and the ability to advise borrowers through every step of the transaction. KEYS TO SUCCESS The company's biggest key to success is its at- tentiveness to clients. A large portion of monthly business comes from repeat customers, which speaks volumes to Civic's customer service. Every day, Civic's management and sales teams explore new ways to better improve the customer experi - ence within the company and maintain top services as it continues to expand.
